“Our profession is notorious for exploiting its most valuable asset – language teachers – for financial gain. I remember a teacher recalling taking a summer job where he and his fellow teachers struggled to teach competently in a school with sub-standard facilities and scant resources. He had a vivid memory of the owner arriving in a Rolls Royce and announcing that further cost-cutting measures were necessary. I think that says it all.”

Sounds like TEFLtrade is back on the case…

…but no! This is from an interview with the author Rose M Senior on the official CUP website. So maybe TEFL isn’t a class war after all?? Or maybe the big publishers are actually on our side?? Can it be true? Oh, it’s all so confusing for a TEFL teacher just waiting for Friday and then remembering he works Saturdays now…

Anyway, a good interview about what sounds like a very good book- “The Experience of Language Teaching“.
